NBA 2K15 News Post


One image, one voice...

I've talked to him over the phone, chatted with him on AOL Instant Messenger (yes we are both that old). Never saw the guy in my life, but I met him by surprise at 2K Sports headquarters 4 or 5 years ago. He didn't have to introduce himself. I heard his voice as he walked through and I shouted at him. BIG CZAR!

While most know him as Da_Czar, his real name is Nino Samuel.

I've worked with him in the background for years and watched all of his YouTube videos from start to finish. Posted many of them on OS for everyone to watch and learn from. We even host some of his videos here at OS.

Today, it was announced that he has joined the NBA 2K development team, full time. He will be working with the gameplay team and will focus on the offensive AI system.

Please show this man some love by congratulating him on his new job.

Hopefully, he has the time to chime in at OS, like he has done over the years. All the best Nino!

The Rich Get Richer!

Congrats to the Big Homie! Czar has put in some serious work. 2K is entrenched with so much talent right now, ridiculous!

Glad for him and wish him all the best but at the same time it sucks cause since he is part of 2K there will be no more objectivity.

Seriously, congratulations. It's taken a long time, and it's long overdue, but I'm sure this will help the 2K team immensely. Congrats Czar! Can't wait to see your work big homey

This is the best news yet! It looks like 2K is making the right moves and is in good hands.

Congrats Da Czar. I wish you a long and happy career doing what you love. And, of course, we will benifit from this for years to come.

Annnnd...with my 800th post...I say this is an unbelievable story of a gamer turning his hobby/passion into a full time gig. To think we now have THE voice of the sim nation represented at the roundtable of geniuses in Novato has Marcus Camby telling the "competition" to GTFOH...lol...Big ups Czar!!...Well deserved and congrats.
